Funcom has annouced a new MMO, and this time it’s not sci-fi or fantasy based, at least not in the tradional sense.  For those of you who know me, I am a huge fan of mythology, and Cthulhu is one of my favorite  gods of mythology, even though this is directly from HP Lovecraft novel.  Funcoms new game is based around the same idea, if not directly taken from it judging by some of the art work.  I personally LOVE this idea, and have jumped all over it, expect to see updates to this game often.

a small blurb from the announcement;

Durham, USA – May 11th, 2007 – From the creators of ‘Age of Conan’, ‘Anarchy Online’, ‘The Longest Journey’ and ‘Dreamfall’ comes a brave new massively multiplayer online role–playing game for the PC and Xbox 360. Taking place on our earth, in our times, ‘The Secret World’ (TSW) is inspired by history and mythology, modern conspiracy theories and ancient mysteries.

For there really is a world within ours, a secret world, where magic exists, monsters roam and ancient forces are fighting for the dominance of earth. It is a world of legendary stories, ageless conflicts and powerful cabals. In this world, even modern cities hide secrets. In this world, players can take part in the greatest conspiracies of our age, and battle the forces of darkness across the world and throughout time.
